Madam Xiao pondered, "Lord Lu has indeed offended quite a few people in court recently. His strong support for the Crown Prince's re-examination of old cases has already caused discontent among certain individuals."
Nangong Shuang's heart stirred: Re-examining old cases? Could it be that Lu Shilang is also involved in supporting the re-examination of the Nangong Family Case? If that's the case, today's poisoning incident is likely related to the Nangong Family Case!
Arriving at the guest room door, Madam Xiao gently pushed it open. She saw Lu Shilang leaning against the headboard, his face pale but his mind clear. Xiao Xiang and Xiao Zhongyan were also in the room, engaged in a serious conversation.
"Lord Lu is awake?" Madam Xiao asked with surprise.
Lu Shilang managed a faint smile. "Thanks to this young lady's life-saving grace, otherwise I would have already met my end."
Nangong Shuang stepped forward to pay her respects. "Lord Lu, you flatter me. It is the duty of a healer to save lives."
Lu Shilang scrutinized Nangong Shuang, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. "Miss, your medical skills are remarkable and worthy of admiration. May I ask where you studied?"
Nangong Shuang replied cautiously, "My master is an old doctor who lives in seclusion in the mountains. He shuns fame and fortune and never ventures out. What I have learned is merely superficial."
"Oh?" Lu Shilang looked at her meaningfully. "Not only can you identify 'Purple Butterfly Poison,' but you also carry the antidote with you. That doesn't seem like mere 'superficial' knowledge."
Nangong Shuang felt a surge of caution but maintained her composure. "Although my master lives deep in the mountains, he has extensively researched various rare poisons and ailments. While 'Purple Butterfly Poison' is rare, it is documented in the Medical Book. I have simply read the Medical Book and know a little about it."
Lu Shilang glanced at Xiao Xiang before turning back to Nangong Shuang. "I will never forget your life-saving grace, Miss. Today's matter is of great significance; I ask that you keep it confidential for now and not let it spread."
Nangong Shuang nodded in agreement but pondered internally: Why keep it secret? Is it to avoid causing a stir in court or to prevent alarming others?
At that moment, a maid hurried in to report, "Sir, the Imperial Physician has arrived!"
"Quickly, please invite him in!" Xiao Xiang instructed.
Before long, an elderly man with white hair entered, accompanied by several attendants. He wore the official robes of the Imperial Medical Bureau and carried himself with an air of authority, clearly a physician of high status.
"Lord Lu has been poisoned; I rushed here upon hearing the news and am delighted to see that you are out of danger!" The Old Doctor approached the bed and carefully examined Lu Shilang's condition.
"Thanks to this Miss Nangong's miraculous skills, otherwise Lord Lu would no longer be among us," Xiao Xiang introduced.
The Old Doctor looked at Nangong Shuang with some surprise. "Oh? You can actually cure 'Purple Butterfly Poison'? That is truly remarkable! I have practiced medicine for decades and have only heard of this poison."
Nangong Shuang humbly replied, "It is merely a secret recipe from my master; I was fortunate that it worked."
The Old Doctor stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "Your medical skills are exquisite; without profound family teachings, one could not possibly achieve such proficiency."
His gaze held deeper meaning as if he had discerned something but chose not to articulate it.
Lu Shilang interjected, "Nangong Shuang saved my life; she is truly a divine doctor! Grand Physician, do you think I need to rest for a few more days?"
The Old Doctor took Lu Shilang's pulse and nodded. "The poison has been controlled; however, residual toxins remain in your body. You will indeed need to rest for three to five days. The young lady administered her treatment precisely; I am quite impressed."
Nangong Shuang humbly bowed, but in her heart, she was pondering: this Grand Physician seemed to know quite a bit about the Purple Butterfly Poison, perhaps he also knew some secrets of the Nangong Family?
After the examination was complete, the Old Doctor prescribed a remedy and took his leave. Xiao Xiang and Xiao Zhongyan followed suit, leaving only Nangong Shuang and Madam Xiao in the room.
